Contao form validation extension

, _(*1)

This extension provides extended form validations like client side form validation for the Contao forms., _(*2)

Features

• Client side form validation using http://formvalidation.io/. This is an commercial library supporting well known frameworks like Bootstrap, foundation. It is NOT included in this extension and has to be purchased and installed by its own.
• formvalidation.io supports html5 form validation. Since Contao supports html5 form field widgets most validators work out of the box.
• Automatically create frontend validators for:
  • upload file (extensions and file size)
  • password (min length of password field, compare passwords)
  • date formats (date, datim)
  • phone validator (formvalidation.io does not support input type tel.).
  • string length validation (min length, max length)

Following features are planned: * Support default Contao 3.4 form syntax * Provide extended validators for client and server side., _(*3)
